on a whim.
September 23, 2011 | 6:03 AM
On a whim I decided to alight at a bus stop two stops from where I usually alight. I used to stop there when I took the bus back from NYP 3-4 years back actually, but after I stopped taking 852 I've never alighted there anymore. But tonight a mixture of nostalgia and the urgent need to pee made me press the bell, and I'm kind of glad I walked that way.
It reminded me of walks back from secondary school, of walks back from poly, and of the first boyfriend, the first breakup. I almost forgot the bench I sat on when ah kent talked to me that night; had to turn back and look, in fact. This isn't meant to be some emo entry, just the pouring out of that sudden rush of memories that comes everytime you walk a route you haven't walked in a long time.
i haven't been able to put my thoughts down in a while, but somehow today, I felt I could write. Not that anybody reads anymore, but somehow the words came out easily tonight.
velda.
